"'On And On' is a song about kissing off predatory men in the music scene,” says Demitro. “I always wonder if there will be a day when I won’t feel the need to write about this subject, but unfortunately misogyny is far too rampant in the music industry and I refuse to put up with it. Sonically speaking we wanted to make sure the song was heavy but also wanted to take some inspiration from more pop artists like Lady Gaga. It has some drum machines on it, which was something we had been really wanting to incorporate into our sound.”
Written together by Demitro and Pottersmith, “On And On” also features contributions from friends like Nick Bockrath from Cage The Elephant on guitar, and production from The Black Keys’ GRAMMY-winner Dan Auerbach. The trio have previously shared “Suck The Cherry” from the new album, filled with “high-octane, scrappy spirit that captures pure rock n’ roll at its most unfiltered” (Luna Collective) - and “Go Fly Away,” which the group first shared in an extensive feature with Billboard: https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/the-velveteers-a-million-knives-black-keys-collaboration-1235797540/
A Million Knives follows The Velveteers’ 2021 debut album Nightmare Daydream, which quickly found them playing stadium stages with Smashing Pumpkins, Guns N' Roses and more.
